Sufjan Stevens on 'Say Yes! to M!ch!gan!' :
Give it a chance! The waterways and waterfalls! The eggplant farms and cabbage rows and two striking peninsulas bordering four Great Lakes! The sandy shorelines, the spring-fed rivers, the Mackinaw Bridge! Blissfest! Henry Ford! Apple farms! Tulip Time! Motown music!
The people are generous, warm, outgoing, helpful, industrious, slightly overweight, but always willing to lend a hand. They give clear directions to the interstate. There are no tollbooths. There are only wide highways and a 70-mph speed limit.
Have you been to Frankenmuth? Christmas in July? The Renaissance Festival? The Renaissance Center? Have you harvested baby’s breath in abandoned lots? Have you been on a three-wheeler, a snowmobile, a hydroplane ferry to Beaver Island?
There are rainbow trout and catfish, beaver dams, raccoons and lively squirrels taking over college campuses and university yards all across the landscape! Say YES! to the state that brought you Casey Kasem, Joe Louis, and cars!
